Hey all,
After adding more Mightys to my rig, I noticed that a fixture or two doesn't quite have the same illumination as the others. When the fixtures are 'open bright white', one or two of them are sort of faded and not as luminous, leading to:
1. The bright whites do no match the rest of the fixtures
2. The throw of the fixture is greatly reduced including lack of sharpness in the beam regardless of focusing.
Of course this is a lamp issue, and I wanted to know if this sounds like older lamps on their way out or just a different brand/type of lamp installed. From all that I can tell, the lamps are the same - but I don't want to go yanking them out and shortening their life if I don't have to. Everything has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected and in top working order. I just wanted an opinion on the lamps before I go digging into them again.
Thanks,
-Tech

usually when they start going dim theyll give out relatively soon...i would yank em now as long as they are somewhat usebale still...u could always use the less bright ones for some fx that dont require such large throws...or replace the bulbs to get the uniformity back
